This is a triplex I want to move into for about one year to satisfy FHA requirements and then I'd be looking for another triplex or quadplex to repeat the process.Triplex (1 4BR and 2 2BR)Asking price: 180kRents: 900 + 750 + 750 = 2,400 (Actual would be 1,650 because I'd be living in one unit)PITI: 1,300Other expenses breakdown: Utilities (15%): 360Maintenance (10%): 240 Vacancies (5%): 120Self-managed (0%): 0Total: 7201650 - 1300 - 720 = (370)I would begin showing a negative cashflow of ($4,440) for the first year, then after moving out, that number would go to:2,400 - 1300 - 720 = 380 (potentially more than $380 because the property is in good condition and there isn't really much to repair)Meaning that after a down payment of $6,300 plus the $4,440 of negative cashflow I will lose the first year, that leaves me at $10,740 all-in.
